Trump wants a Soviet Style MILITARY Parade through the streets of Washington DC

[MaryL]

Well, anyway, be that as it may. I am good with a good strong military parade now and then. I remember seeing military flyovers over Denver in the early 60's with such a fanfare, it was stunning to this day remember old jets from Buckley field with the orange wings flying overhead...over Colorado boulevard. But now? I want to see pride in our military again, shame on any of you that want to make that a bad thing...

Not a person but MaryL said anything about not wanting pride in our military.

Excuse me. It's seems like the OP is implying exactly that. Trump wants "Soviet style" celebration of the military? Says who, were did that come from? Seems like ham handed bashing of ALL American veterans, Does it matter the era?

What is wrong with patriotism? What is wrong with remembering Pearl harbor, or D-day? If that offends you , good, you fascist swine. The rest of us want to celebrate your defeat with relish, maybe some corned beef or something. With nice deli pickle.

The OP implies that it is Trump who wants to degrade the military with a Stalinseque parade.

Real Americans remember Normandy, Pearl Harbor, and so on, appropriately, not in Trump's way. Why is anyone against traditional patriotism?

Nothing...but there are other, better ways to engage in it than to ply and stroke a wanna be authoritarian's fetish.

I suspect y'all are just butthurt Democrat Wankers. No offense intended... ok, a little offense intended.

We are both veterans, neither of us are Dems, and we know that no one wants to parade if he does not have to, particularly if it is for a weenie who wants to shine. You did not serve, obviously: no disrespect but you don't understand.

Yeah, you're not a butthurt Democrat Wanker. No way.

Neither am I. I was a rank and file E-4 and I hated parades. Stupid parade for 3 Senators, on Ft. Polk, sent 45 people from our Battalian to sick call for heat exhaustion.

Trump wants a soviet style military parade..? Define THAT...really. What, he wants red stars and CCCP Printed on everything? Just wanting to have little flourish, and old style patriotism isn't a bad thing. If it is, why?

Because liberals hate patriotism. And America.

Don't bother, they watch too much Democrat Fake News. They're full of irrational hate. They don't care about our soldiers. They only care about hating Trump.

Says the alt right rage-hate guy who wants a Soviet type parade in DC.

Nothing 'hateful' about a parade honoring our military. The fact you think it represents 'hate', makes you a loony butthurt Democrat. Like i said, you watch too much Democrat Fake News.

 

[JakeStarkey]

The racialist alt right hate rage keeps misdefining the emotional aspect of this OP.

All of the hate rage is on the crazy right.

The responsible right to left do not want a stalinesque parade: that is the antithesis of hate.

I hated parades in my 23 years (except for my retirement one) but understood their purpose - morale. To have our military parade before the American people is a way for them (the people) to show their appreciation for what the military does to protect this country. It will also show Americans what their tax dollars are paying for.

If the parade is on a militarily significant holiday (Veteran's Day, Memorial Day, or Pearl Harbor Day, or anytime we win a conflict), then I'm all for it.

However....................if there is no military victory to celebrate, or it is not on a significant military holiday, Trump isn't doing it for the military, he's doing it to stroke his own ego.
